Some more stuff

angelakFirst off, I agree with my horoscope today:
"Tuesday, Apr 15, 2008 You should generally be feeling pretty satisfied with your progress right now. And you ought to be able to express yourself fairly clearly at the moment. So you should really try to deal with any lingering issues or concerns as openly and honestly as possible at this time so that you can hopefully put them behind you and make some fresh starts.
You should be feeling rather ambitious and optimistic right now, and your personal confidence should be steadily growing as you work towards building a positive new future for yourself. Just make sure that you’re not too overly optimistic. Remember that there may still be a few tricky details left to figure out"
My confidence is building in general. But there are so many details to sort out.
Secondly...
I am here to celebrate the good moments. On Friday I ran around closing out help requests as quickly as possible after an upgrade took longer than it should have early in the morning and my list wasn't shrinking.
That's not the happy part. The director of Public Works Ops emailed me and CC'd my boss thanking me for my quick and efficient response to his issues. I really needed that. And I am recognizing the GOOD THINGS that happen here at the office. My boss respects me for the work I do, my steady and reliable attendance, and my willingness to do consistent work.
And so do several users that are high in the hierarchy of command throughout the city. These are GOOD things. I'm remembering how I am good at my job, even when I feel like I am being buried.
Today I am wearing the cutest Eeyore shirt that Grandma bought me after our last Casino run. I really do love the sleeve cut. And the sleeves FIT me and my big ole muscley arms. Usually girlie shirts tend to skimp on shoulders (I have broad ones, even back in the less lean days this was a challenge for me) and arm circumference.
Ah, what a day. Soon I will go move some people from one desk space to another (I swear all departments find it prudent to continually move their staff.) as well as ... close out some helps and clean up some upgrades from last week. And oddly - as of late, I miss my old coupe (Joe).
My last car, for those who weren't on my f-list before I bought Classy, was Joe.
The plate was 782-JOE, and I had some very good times in that car. Now that I am a lot more solo these days I wonder on whether the sedan was worth forfeiting gas milage, but Classy is one slick ride and I can't deny that I love the little extra pep that it has over Joe's slightly smaller engine. And there is something nice about the sleek cuts of the body-style on my 2006 Impreza [RS]. The WRX was beyond my price range. And I suppose wholly unnecessary. Joe is the 1997 Eclipse pictured in my icon.
I forgot how I tired of the tan interior and the fact that red was never a favorite color of mine for cars. It is because the parents seemed to always end up with Red Cars.
Regardless. A bit of nostalgia for the little coupe that took me so many miles. Although there is no question that I am every bit glad I have Classy. Reliable, sleek, and it has a key fab and power windows. Joe was power-nothing (save for the moon/sun roof). And had manual keys. Not so bad on one hand, but I sure do love opening my car without using the damn key when I have an armload of Dachshunds or groceries.
My coffee snack has mostly run through me. And soon I must leave to go complete the good services of my job. I am really going to try and shape my reality more and be less angry about the workplace. Last week I just was far too tense, and the week before that I was crashing for other emotional reasons. Time to try and solve this enigma of imbalance in my life.
